Page 18 - Nuclear Weapons Testing News Today

South Korea dispatched its own warplanes in a show of force as the North appeared intent on keeping tensions high on the Korean Peninsula.

The country’s leader, Kim Jong-un, has inspected a recent flurry of missile tests, vowing to increase — and never give up — his nuclear weapons.

Plus North Korea’s underwater missile silos and trouble in the Metaverse.

Frustrated and isolated, the North is conducting more missile tests than ever.

The Biden administration is bracing for Kim Jong-un to carry out a nuclear test. It says North Korea has fired 41 ballistic missiles this year, including one over Japan.

The test came a day after the United States, Japan and South Korea conducted their first joint anti-submarine exercise in five years.

The law authorizes a nuclear strike if an enemy tries to remove Kim Jong-un from power, the North’s state media reported.

Despite the escalating rhetoric, South Korea emphasized that diplomacy would continue.

Mr. Kim may be ready to re-engage with the world.

After generations of stability in nuclear arms control, a warning to Russia from President Biden shows how old norms are eroding.
